Best WC attorney in CA

I had been tossed around the WC system for months before going to see Roger. He was a great help in getting me the medical appointments. Without him i do not think I would be out of the WC system. All I have to say is thank you and give him praise.

The Finest Workers Comp Attorney in California

Roger Cognata is one of the finest attorneys in California. He is also one of the finest human beings I’ve ever met. He’s not just a great lawyer just because of his boundless legal knowledge and skills in the Workers Comp field and other areas of the law, but because he actually cares about his clie...nts. He returns phone calls. He responds to questions. He puts in the extra hours it takes to achieve a successful outcome. He never stops until he gets everything his clients are due. This is critical when a successful outcome for the employee may include needed medical treatment and coverage that determines a person’s future career path and quality of life. When a worker is injured, particularly a public safety employee, that worker is faced with a daunting and complicated Workers Comp bureaucracy that often places the recovery and future health of the worker at the bottom of their priority list. Many times an injured worker--with the encouragement of this bureaucracy--will tire of the fight and simply give up and move on. This outcome can later be extremely detrimental to the injured worker and their family. This is where Roger comes in as the perfect advocate during what is often a very trying time. He never stops fighting for his clients. He knows the system. He knows how government bureaucracies work since he was a former District Attorney. He also has a crack legal staff in the person of Julie, who is a tireless advocate for Roger’s clients in her own right. Caring and compassionate, she provides invaluable support during times of uncertainty for the injured worker. There is no better advocate. Whether you’re a nurse, police officer, firefighter, deputy sheriff, EMT, or any employee working in the public or private sector, Roger Cognata is the person to call when you’re hurt and you need help. I was extremely fortunate to have him in my corner

TOP NOTCH ATTORNEY

Take a great white shark and breed it with a pit bull and you get Roger Cognata. He is an attorney that is absolutely tenacious in fighting for everything you deserve and will not let go until you get it. He possesses all the traits of a great lawyer. He is knowledgeable, tenacious and most important...ly, has integrity. When Roger takes your case, you can rest assured that he will do everything possible to get you the best outcome, and he will not take shortcuts to make it easy on himself. I am a retired Fire Capt from the LAFD. I have recommended Roger Cognata to co-workers and they are all extremely satisfied with his services. I could go on and on praising him, but suffice it to say, if you want THE BEST work comp attorney fighting for you, go to Roger Cognata. NO ONE will do a better job

BEST WORK COMPENSATION ATTORNEY

Roger Cognata was recommended to me by my brother. He was always available to answer questions and explained all the procedures I was to be involved in. I felt as if all I needed to do was follow his directions and all would be well. Roger is knowledgeable about all the rules and regulations in regar...ds to work comp. I would, and have, recommended him to many of my friends. I cant give Mr Cognata enough credit for how well my case was settled for. There are lots of attorneys out there, but Mr Cognata is the best of them all.
